Rick it makes me VERY happy to know you were able to add 108 games plus a few extras to the collection from my ex-NES collection! I am happy they are going to a good home and I appreciate you good sir!
When you started speeding up I was like "Nooo slow it down!". It's really therapeutic
I would make a public list so viewers can see what games you need. Could be a cool way to trade and get some games you need.
You'd be crazy NOT to go for a complete NES set. Even if you don't get them all, it'll be a fun ride to try. Great video!
This is such a great series! So stoked!
I Agree! 😄
I got a lot of my NES stuff back in the mid to late 90’s as well. I didn’t have a lot of money growing up but loved gaming so I’d buy older gen stuff really cheap at yard sales and pawn shops. I remember getting a cib NES action set for $2! Still have it. A lot of my stuff I got for $1 or 2 back then, so glad I held onto it!
Asome bro dont let it go that collection
I am so happy to see what was happening in the background of this episode at 0:40! I saw Battletoads in the background, my favorite NES game! Thank you for that Retro Rick!
I finally finished the TENGEN set of NES games last year. Its more fun to collect NES games in sub-sets as you build your collection. I usually do it by publisher or by series.
So my Dad growing up was really into Black Bass, was actually a very very fun game. Then we went up to Super Black Bass. Please sir may I buy that off you. Really brought back great memories.
I actually have a sizeable nes collection that I’m looking to sell / trade. I’ve moved on from nes collecting as I don’t play it much and am now focused on completing my 360 NA set. Maybe there’s deal to be made lol
I'd be interested if he wasn't. Would be happy to take a look!
Yo , I may be interested!!!
I'm also interested
What are you collecting now? I need more nes in my life!
Interested
It took me 2 years to complete the Nes set between 2019-21 minus Stadium Event. Best advice is start at Little Samson and get the grails out the way because that 600$ game today is probably a 800$ game 6 months from now.
Side pocket is another game I probably spent 300 hours playing. So fun
Spelunker is awesome, it just has a steep learning curve. Very satisfying once you get good at it.
Monopoly on NES was awesome! You just had to play the rules to do trades instead of cash like you do on the regular board game. Awesome game!
Bubble Booble was one of my favorite games playing when I was younger.
I spotted Magic of Scherezade in the video at 20:04. That's one of the NES games I have. A good RPG that's relatively easy to play, even the password system is quite forgiving. It's a good mix of action RPG like Zelda mixed with some turn based combat like Final Fantasy.
God speed. I stopped at 152. I have a couple of heavy hitters like Ducktales 2, Bucky O'Hare, Felix the Cat and Bubble Bobble 2. Every time I look at my collection and what's left, there are 85% of the games that are less than $100 with the most expensive being Little Samson and Stadium Events. And some of the expensive ones are hot garbage.
I look forward to seeing how this goes
Turbo racing was one of my favourite games when I was young.... Good for numbing the thumb on the D pad with all the switch of directions.
I think id be crying searching through these boxes from pure nostalgia! I know I've got (had) loads of nes games as a kid and think they're still at my parents (im determined to restart collecting these)
Black bass is a great game. Love it.
Clu Clu Land was a favorite of mine as a kid. Took a lot of heat from other kids who didn't agree, but I think it still holds up. Simple game, but lots of fun with a good game mechanic.
Good luck on your journey Rick! Lot of fun games on the system. Sitting at 33 carts left to go myself. Then it’s onto the unlicensed.
11:11 "what a deal!" is the new "for my son!"
The fishing games on Dreamcast were actually a ton of fun.
Yes
It never gets old looking at old NES games 🔥🔥🔥. So much nostalgia as you went thru that box. A lot great games in those 📦. I’m looking forward to the journey of completing the NES licensed games. I can’t wait to see what you come across.
I love to power glove- Lucas Barton
Man… Spelunker and Solomon’s Key were two of my favorites back in the day that I completely forgot existed.
The NES is a beautiful console. It was the second console I ever played ☺️
Totally awesomeness Brother. Ten years ago I had 550 Nintendo games. I don't collect video games anymore. But have to scratch that itch buy watching Your passion for You collecting vintage fun. Thanks always for sharing Your Adventures 😀 👍 ♥️ 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🌎🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯
These NES games look CLEAN! Wolf definitely took care of his collection!
I played so much Black Bass as a kid, it was a good challenging fishing game. If you tried to reel the fish in too quick you'd get back some bones
Solid addition to the NES collection. That Jackie Chan game is rad!
If you separate Short Order and Eggsplode!, there are actually 678 North American games plus the 2 championship cartridges.
My man... I absolutely love NES content and that you are going for the full set. I am at 353 unique licensed loose (not including any variants) and 49 of those are complete after 6 years of flipping and hustling to build it. I've hit my first big wall though and not found any deals in a long while to continue the journey. Best of luck with yours my friend! I'd suggest looking at scooping games in that $30-90 dollar range ASAP, especially if you ever see them at any sort of deal. It's good to pick up heavies as you go as well, just bite the bullet and you'll be much happier strategizing along the way.
Good stuff man! Can't wait to see how many games you get this year
Fun fact: Puss in Boots was based on the character that debuted in a 1969 Toei Animation anime movie. That version of the character eventually became the mascot for Toei Animation (the studio responsible for Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, One Piece, and more).
Good luck! I finished the NES licensed set last year (2021) and glad I did based on what has happened to the rare game prices. I already have the N64 set, which I finished in 2016, and I'm working on the SNES licensed set now.... About 200 to go for it I think.
definitely a Mario cameo on that Golf cover lol
Spelunker is one of my all time faves! Love the music!
You will most definitely get there! I have been working on completing a North American licensed NES set since 2013 and I am now officially only 32 games away! It's really exciting knowing how close you are!
Some really great games. Watching you go through them makes me remember the systems I had when I was younger. I always loved the Nintendo systems. The other consoles were good but there was just a handful of games that I really liked. I don't have any consoles at the moment, small living space. At some point I would love to try to pick up the consoles and games that I had.
All the game nostalgia in that box awesome
Go for it! Get all those games and have an awesome collection of games and controllers and system. That would be a very expensive collection right there. Right on!
Can't wait to see your NES collection unfold. It was my 1st console back in 1987 and wish i was as close as you are to completing it.. Good luck
Jackie Chan Action Kung-fu is one of the few NES I actively look for at conventions.
I’m glad you’re starting a new web series! On a lighter note, I don’t have enough space in my room for any NES games.
@retrorick I’m a year or so late, but I had a good laugh when you included a Happy Gilmore clip in reference to Lee Trevino’s Fighting Golf possibly without realizing that Lee Trevino is actually featured multiple times IN Happy Gilmore 😂
The Black Bass was one of my favorites back in the NES days!
Loved the unboxing of the NES games. Best ones that I had were Lode Runner, Bubble Bobble 1 & 2, 1942, Bionic Commando, Shinobi, Rush N Attack, Klax, Super Pitfall. I liked the arcade version of Spy Hunter but the NES version was okay. THANKS for the memories.
Sega Bass Fishing in the Arcade was a great game!
Of all the systems I own the NES still is my favorite. Most games aged well and Tempe nostalgia factor is highest.
Nemo, TCF Skateboard, Barbie and Zelda were my top plays back in the day
That Little Sampson music in the background made the video for me!
Tiger Heli was underrated and one of those games I rented multiple times on the weekends as a kid. Was definitely one of first games I bought cib when I started collecting 10 years ago
I have around 150 NES games. Some in boxes that are in good shape, some should be thrown out lol. It's a fun hobby and my son loves it too!
I'm stuck at 675/677...2 left. That Sword Master did not look like a Pal B version. Did you already have that? Great pick up. I remember paying $80 for it thinking that was a lot years back. Great vid sir.
Retro Rick was on that Whatnot stream getting those NES games last night!
Still happy to hear that you completed the gamecube collection 👍
You need a notebook to keep up with everything,or some kind of app. That would help cut down on double checking your collection. Just update every month.
Next a real challenge a complete play station 2 collection. Now that’s an accomplishment. You would need a separate room dedicated to it. I think it’s something north of 4,000 games in North America alone.
You sir are quite ambitious lol can’t wait to follow the journey 😎
The Nintendo NES was my first Nintendo console, my favorite game was Little Samson
11:10 McKays is one of my favorite stores.
Oh wow! So excited for this series!
Currently on Ebay their is a Gold World Championship cartridge for sale. Good luck!
My Buddy and I rented Black Bass from Block Buster and had blast seeing who could catch the biggest fish…. not the greatest game, but one of the best times couch gaming we ever had.
Ultimate Muscle ! Lol, I never realized it was based off or related to a NES game. Cool to find out
I started collecting NES around 2001. Still can't believe I got the majority of games free from my friends, because they didn't play them anymore. I also wish I never sold Action 52 ($30 on Ebay, around that time)
I feel like the collection should be complete in box to make it more special.
Loved Micro Machines. On the back is a switch that is used to get past the NES lockout chip
I always wanted to do this ever since I got my very first Nintendo back in 1988! Lack of space is what is holding me back, and well lack of funds for the more rare titles.
I just reached over 400 games about a week ago for NES I'm at 403 to be exact, I'm gonna try to make it to 500 by the end of the year as well! Nice pick ups on the Jackie Chan and the Air Combat you don't see those ones very often.
Great haul bro! Killing it man, killing it.
You're correct, that copy of Sword Master is a PAL region game. You can tell by the letter A in the bottom right corner.
Can’t wait to see the journey unfold
Let me find out, Rick had the 20 inch rims on the explore! Haha
Your collection is so amazing it’s my dream too have a collection that big but I have only a small one but I’m very grateful for it I’m most proud that I have ever sonic sega genesis game ever made in the usa
Just picked up Snake’s Revenge and Hook today locally, which is rare to find NES games I need locally, that leaves me with 257 licensed games to go.
Update: 84 titles left! Since my last post I got Little Samson for $1800 and Dinosaur Peak for $800!
*I love your collection! It's a big joy to watch how you collectiong growing and i feel like its mine.* :)
Retro Rick was rockin the 24s 😂
That Jackie Chan action kung fu is an incredibly fun game, I found it by way of the weird Mario rom hack version but it is a hell of a good play
My first NES game to start of my complete collection is Family Fun Fitness Stadium Events! Guess I still have a long way to go! Woo!
black bass fishing was a great game.
Cool man 👍🏼. Can’t wait to see what all you find .
So happy for you Retro Rick let’s get ‘em all
Bro, getting bummed about whatnot. It's not relatable/accessible in showing ppl how to collect & resell, esp when your auctions do so much better than market value. I hope you do another true $10 game collection, and keep up the relatable content. It's been my fave!
Hahaha. I do. I played Super Black Bass the other day after getting skunked out on the ice.
A lot of good games in there. I’ve been working on a full set for a couple years. I’m over 430 now. It gets a little harder once you knock out the commons. Good luck!
As someone who completed the licensed collection, sans stadium events, years ago, I can honestly say, I wish I had your kind of money to do it today. Today I'm more interested in having reliable vehicles to get to work, and home improvements.
Breakthru is a classic for me. Highly recommend it!
I have just the box for that 720 game for some reason. My mother dropped off all of my old NES, SNES, and Gameboy stuff. Most with the boxes, manuals, ads, etc.
The name of the game keeps changing, I couldn’t keep up.
It was believed for a long time that the Golf guy was Mario, especially since he was in the Game Boy version, but in the Wii game (which was exclusive to Japan and Europe), Captain Rainbow, he's identified as Ossan. That name was used for Mario during the development of Donkey Kong, but the design is different enough in Captain Rainbow that it confirms he's not Mario.
Great video! I own Puss N Boots and I wouldn’t say its that fun, but its a nice 15 min play through lol. You can get through that game so quickly.
You know we have to see these "rims" now lol!!
Spelunker is a super fun super hard game. They recently did a remaster for the switch
Gotta recommend CLZ games on mobile for keeping track on the road. Once you hit a certain point, it's way too easy to forget what you have.
Wish I kept mine. I had close to 300 nes including ducktales 2 plus some hard to find in box. Sold my entire gaming collection
Very cool I think with the common games you have cone across them so much that you flipped it si often you forgot one day you didn't have it. super cool you are well on your way to completing the collection. Much luck.
good luck dude... you still need all the heavy hitters i need.... pat the nes punk says to wait!!!
these NES games are everywhere!!! I would think that getting the entire colllection would be eay for anyone, unless there are like 50 that are really hard to get
